Home Country

I was never a very big fan of living in São Paulo. I always had set in my mind that I would want to live in another country in the future because I always hated the way my hometown worked. However, now that I am currently in another country, I realize that I do miss a lot of things that I can't find here due to the difference in culture. One of the things that I miss the most would be the padarias. It is so difficult to find real food (that is not fast food), while in Brazil, you can find food right around each corner. ;Even though I have never really believed it when people said that Brazilians were extremely warm and welcoming, I can now slightly understand why they would say that. Going through two different countries these past few days, I have noticed that people react in different ways becuase they have a different culture. Studying in an international school, new cultures have never been something new. HOwever, this exposure is completely different and in a disticnt dimension. I realized now that there is an extreme difference in food, roads, way of speaking, way of looking and interacting with each other.
I love getting to know different cultures. I have always been someone that is not intimidated by different customs because I find it to be interesting. The knowledge that you gain from remaining open minded is crucial. I still have set in my mind that I want to live in another country in the future. HOwever, I have realized that I will still miss a lot of things from Brazil.
